This volume is the first publication within the project
'PeripheralAutonomy? Longitudinal analyses of cultural transfer in
the literary fields of small language communities', financed by the
Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). The project
started in 2006 and was one of the spin-offs of the project
'Scandinavian literature in Europe: the influence of language
politics, gender and aesthetics' in Groningen. Three universities
are involved in the project: Ghent, Groningen and Uppsala. The
first workshop 'Reflection on theoretical and methodological points
of departure' was held at Ghent in December 2006. A selection of
papers from the workshop were published on the project's website,
which has been developed to function as a scholarly environment
favourable to intellectual exchange concerning the 'Peripheral
Autonomy' programme.The essays in this volume, the second in the
series Studies on Cultural Transfer and Transmission (CTaT), focus
on cultural transfer from the late nineteenth century until 1950.
Emphasis is placed on the institutional conditions for cultural
transfer, the social role of cultural transmitters and the function
of the literature transferred. Gender aspects of cultural transfer
are also studied, as well as the connection between changing
national identities and varying definitions of national
literatures.The volume makes clear that the cultural transmitter
has a very important role in cultural transfer and transmission.
She/he is active or present in all phases of the process,
discovering new authors and genres, and shaping, reconstructing or
deconstructing images. Whether or not the foreign literature is
received on fertile soil and becomes part of a new literary field,
cultural transmitters are pioneers and in the vanguard of cultural
transfer.
